Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes we were at our free-flowing best during our convincing win against West Ham on Saturday.
The winger scored the fourth of our five goals at London Stadium, playing his part in an excellent attacking display from Arsène Wenger’s men.

We are now the top scorers in the division, with 33 goals in 14 games, and Oxlade-Chamberlain says our offensive potential clicked at the right time against West Ham.
"Yeah, it felt like that, especially second half,” he told Arsenal Player. "It seemed like we were flowing.
"The game opened up a bit and when we were going forward we looked like we were all in sync. Alexis was making runs, Mesut was making runs and the boys were coming in behind them, we felt like we knew what we were doing and we were creating opportunities."
Oxlade-Chamberlain was on target himself, bending home a long-range effort to take his tally for the season to six in all competitions.
"I’m really happy in the end to get on the scoresheet,” he added. "Once you start getting one goal or opportunities open up, your hunger for it grows even more and I think I’ve seen that over the years in Alexis. He scores two and he’s unhappy he hasn’t scored a hat-trick.
"That was almost the way I was feeling today. After I scored my first I was keen to go and score a second and a third. That’s what you need, you need that hunger to keep pushing you to strive to do better."
